Has anyone contacted the FBI over Trump ???

I actually submitted a tip to their cybercrime division just now . We've just witnessed someone openly seek out a foreign government to commit an act of treason !!! If I did anything like this in my current, I'd be thrown in jail within the hour !

and how that posed a security threat.

That was before he went all seditious and invited the Russians to spy on State Dept emails.

That they called their local FBI. FBI said they were aware and are checking it out.

he can always walk it back, pass it off as a joke or politicking.

it is (or should be) tremendously damaging to him politically, but not legally.

of course, if they investigated and found some further private communications, and a promise of a more material reward than the hope of favorable press, *that* would be actionable.


also, the constitution requires actual arms to be involved for it to be treason. though i'm sure there are other federal laws that would apply.

I do realize it is a serious matter, but, I think the FBI is probably aware of this..............

But there is certainly a question whether he is an agent of a foreign and unfriendly government, which would make him an unacceptable security risk.

There may be financial crimes as well.
